Positivity, but make it fierce 🔥

One of my very favorite meals to make for my family

is a good ol' Clean Out the Fridge Dinner.

The ingredients? Whatever good vegetables & random leftovers are in the icebox.

Whatever becomes in a Clean Out the Fridge Dinner -

a salad

a pasta

a curry

a stew

an omelet

an array of tapas

is somehow always - ALWAYS - delicious.

How is that?

Because there are three other main ingredients:

Positivity, Creativity, and Determination.

Determination because my intention is bigger than dinner.

My intention is LET'S CLEAN SLATE THIS FRIDGE, and make the most of its contents.

Creativity because obviously.

And Positivity?

I use a particular kind of Positivity here that I want to make sure YOU are using in your life.

This kind of Positivity asks:

What resources are available?

What DO I have?

What would be DELICIOUS?

This is as key to creating a tasty meal as it is to creating a tasty life.

Simple, right? Focus on what we DO have.

Why then are we so often focused on what we DON'T have?

Because when we get stuck on problems and obstacles,

rather than tap into potential and possibility,

we're much MUCH less disruptive.

We decline to use our creativity to change the way we move through the world.

Our determination flags, underfueled and underfed.

We settle for status quo.

And that's just the way The Man likes it.

Yeah. Hex that.

Start with a spark of desire: What would be delicious?

Fuel with creativity, determination, positivity: What DO I have, to make what I want?

Light a fire. Burn down the obstacles. Cook up a savory next step.

And prepare to feast.

love,

Natalie
